I have a data set containing sales orders made of various combinations of different parts.


What I want to do is find the connections between different parts - which parts are most often sold together.

What I need is a way to count how many times Part1 has the same Sales order number as Part2 and Part3 and so on.

I just don't have a clue on how to perform this operation. I have included an example of my data and how I imagine the results could be presented.

Any ideas?
Edit: I use Excel 2010.
